You may fill out your sea time form and attest to your "days at sea" by simply
stating that you have done so on your own vessel. If you don't own a boat, or
have really never been to sea, you might have a friend who does own a boat sign
the form for you. You might fill out the form stating that you have been out
sailing in international waters rather than sitting at your mooring in the
mangroves, and thus becoming eligible for a "Near Coastal" instead of an
"Inland Waters" ticket. The USCG just takes your word for it. They don't have
the time to check it out, and they have better things to do. In fact I believe
Neal made just that suggestion a few years back in one of his boastings.

What an idiot, close to 12% fail the test.

The first time perhaps, but just look at the advertisements of the various
schools, all of them guarantee you will pass. Today you don't even have to go
to an exam center, the schools administer the test themselves, and they make
certain that everyone that has paid their fees will eventually pass. How many
times did you take it?

Riding on any vessel counts, even a passenger ship or a ferry, if you can get
the captain to sign your papers. Its all time at sea.

I think the point that was being made is that holding a ticket, particularly a
25 ton ticket is absolutely meaningless, and nothing worth bragging about. It
shows only the ability to memorize, not that you ever had, or ever will have,
any sailing ability.

Hey, Rectumbee, I'll answer for him because you are
misinformed.

If you would get your head out of your rectum,
Mr. Rectumbee, you would know that there are
charting test questions where one's ability to
plot courses and understand chart navigation
is dependent of one's use of nav instruments
and knowledge of chart symbols, etc.

And, can you tie a bowline knot using multiple
choice?

Can you pass a urine test using multiple choice?

Can you pass a criminal background check using
multiple choice.

I suspect the reason(s) you tried and failed to
get a license of any tonnage is being disqualified
on one or both of the latter two items listed.

What a sad little failure of a man you must
be - one only able to get his rocks off denegrating
the accomplishments of others.

Navigation. CFR, and to answer a celestial question or a plotting
question just slapping your fingers on the desk and chosing the finger
that stings the most will not get it.

You can lie, and some will get away with it, but if you get caught
your commiting a federal offence. Go ahead rebecca. And to sit for a
100 ton you have to have seatime on a 100 ton vessel, same with a 1000
ton. How many vessel owners do you know willing to go to jail to help
a lazy liar get over on the 1000 of Captains that put in the time?
Your pathetic..

Wrong as usual Rebecca, You have to be crew working. No sane master is
going to lie and risk his ticket for a worthless liar.

Its all time at sea.

Liar, You think you can cruise on the Queen Mary and get sea time for
that? Your dumber than dirt....get a clue lubber.

with a 25gt you can legally take out 6 passangers for hire as a
professional.
Without it you can not. GOT IT? Most likely not.... but who cares your
just a wannabe. Go away little girl.

The navigation portion is multiple choice but not mulitiple guess with four
very close answers of which you will get the correct one providing you did
the chart work and formula work properly. But if you get one incorrect it
will lead you down a garden path of all wrong answers for the rest of the
question string. You get the first one wrong, the others will be wrong (may
be done right but based on incorrect information from your mistake on number
one....)

So it really isn't multiple choice. It's one correct and three incorrect
choices.

The Rules of the Road test likewise has one correct and three very close but
incorrect answers. Requires 90% minimum to pass. Again not mulitple choice
but one correct choice only, one....only.

This holds true in the other portions as well. One correct choice and three
wrong choices.

The schools like the USCG allow you to retake the test but it's a different
test with different questions and different chart. The only break I saw was
not having to repay another $140. The advantage to the school came when
they know a USCG test question has a bad correct answer, usually because of
a rule change without a corresponding question change. Without giving it
away they carefully taught that section so you could choose the 'best'
correct answer.

The one area where Neal is incorrect is in the 25 GT limit. At least in the
past this limitation was bumped up rather automatically about 25 tons per
six months of experience. That practice may have changed though.

With the exception of the navigation section the test we took for AB
Unlimited was the exact same test as the one I previously took for 100 ton
including the ColRegs section. Right down to the final dotted 'i'. Nav
tests aren't given to AB applicants.
